Additional information
Gamma titanium aluminide intermetallic (γ-TiAl) alloys are undergoing worldwide assessment for the replacement of nickel based superalloys for blades in new gas turbine aeroengines. The main driver is weight saving as γ-TiAl alloys have a density typically half that of nickel based superalloys. However, the low room-temperature ductility (<2%) of γ-TiAl alloys means producing surfaces of acceptable integrity is extremely difficult. This paper presents new insight into ball nose end milling of fifth-generation thermo-mechanically processed γ-TiAl. The research was funded by EPSRC case award and Rolls-Royce, Colin Sage, Specialist Engineer, email: colin.sage@rolls-royce.com.
